No, that's wrong. That reverses the meaning of the paragraph. I
should have pasted the whole paragraph in, as I think I might have
confused things by showing only that line. Here's the new wording of
the entire note:
Note: The transmitter information is always present. The absence of
the "Sender:" field is sometimes mistakenly taken to mean that the
agent responsible for transmission of the message has not been
specified. The absence of the "Sender:" field merely means that the
transmitter is identical to the author and is therefore not
redundantly placed into a separate field.
